Walker’s Foot Injury Rattles Chiefs Plans | Kansas City Chiefs News

Chiefs’ prized rookie running back Kenneth Walker III missed practice this week with a foot injury—raising eyebrows as he was signed to be the explosive centerpiece of their backfield. Signed after a stellar Seahawks season that included 1,000+ rushing yards and Super Bowl MVP honors, his absence comes at a critical time before Week 1. While the team remains tight-lipped on severity, his history of lower-body issues adds uncertainty. Backup Emari Demercado and rookie Emmett Johnson offer depth but can’t replicate Walker’s game-changing potential. The Chiefs are being cautious—but fans are watching closely.
